During the phone consultations, he was pleasant, calm and helpful. During the pre-op meeting in his office, he obnoxiously rushed you through everything while going through the disclaimers as though you were taking up too much of his time. During this time, his answers to your questions are less patient. Both procedures he arrived an hour and some change late. Both follow-up appointments, he couldn\'t get me out of his office quickly enough. During my recovery period for the first implant, the skin on my shaft had lesions from the skin being stretched, which he tried to blame on herpes (despite having no medical basis for this conclusion). It was obvious he sought to deflect the blame away from his implant. Milestones: First implant initially gave me skin lesions on the shaft, developed edges behind the glans after 3 months, droopy glans that was unnaturally pointing leftwards and severely deadened sensation along the top of the shaft. After about a year, I had it replaced with a larger implant which had a corner protruding almost immediately and worsened over time. Within 7 months, I had it removed by Dr. Solomon. Retraction of EL from 5.5\" to 4\" with curvature, unnatural angle and continued deadened sensation along the top of the shaft. Internal Feedback: It was akin to having a dildo stuffed inside my penis. The stretched out flaccid state was enjoyable for the noticeable lump in my pants that it created, but erections were practically the same length as the flaccid state. Enjoyment of sex became dependent upon what pleasure I could derive from the underside of my shaft and glans, as well as intense mental focus. Masterbation took a minimum of an hour to achieve orgasm, and the orgasms were seldom enjoyable. The first implant seemed to produce positive sexual results for my wife before the edges became a problem. The second implant seemed to produce consistently negative sexual results for my wife. Mobility was limited with the implant. Activities such as bounding up the stairs or running at a full sprint were not doable with the implant. I lived with a constant awareness of its position relative to the rest of my body, with the fear that it could rupture and damage me internally with a careless motion. For example, I had to be careful of my position in bed especially in the event that my wife might turn over while I lay facing her with morning wood. It had an odd effect on urination as well: I couldn\'t shake my penis enough to avoid some urine remaining in my urethra only to emerge after leaving the bathroom. It literally forced me to stand over the toilet for up to 10 minutes following urination dabbing at my pee-hole with a wad of toilet paper to visually determine that the urine supply was exhausted. Even then, there were a few times when urine remained and dribbled out afterwards. This unpleasant ritual ceased with the removal of the implant. External Feedback: My wife\'s eyes rolled towards the back of her head and was quite audible with the first implant before edges were present. Once I had edges, sex came to a standstill (was oral/manual for a period of 5 months or so). The second implant was too tight, and my wife\'s desire for sex was drastically reduced. She basically didn\'t want it unless I pushed for it, and even then preferred to give me head instead of permitting intercourse. After having it removed, she told me that it felt unnatural both in her mouth and vagina. She said it lacked the warmth that a natural penis has, and she vastly preferred my original natural penis. Although I was pretty sure she enjoyed the first implant before the edges, I\'m guessing the temperature difference was less of a deal breaker since the girth was more reasonable for her. The Bottom Line: I am now doing extensive PE (stretching, hanging and pumping) in order to regain over 1.5\" of retracted length after having had the implant removed. I have retained some capsule and subsequently some additional girth (4.5\"FG/5.5\"EG). I have lost a considerable amount of sensation that is compensated for by intense mental focus during sex. I consider myself lucky that things have not gone worse. There is nothing permanent about this implant, unless you are lucky enough to keep some capsule once it comes out (not everyone keeps it). You risk losing length and sensation in order to gain girth (achievable with much less risk via PMMA) and the illusion of a longer flaccid penis (achievable via manual PE). Don\'t take this road. You may fare even worse than myself. I\'ve spent $29,000 to lose sensation, have my penis shortened and incidentally gained a little girth because of leftover scar tissue.
